In the fourth quarter of 2023, Kingston Care Center of Sylvania stood out as the second largest nursing home in Lucas County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Kingston Care Center of Sylvania boasted an overall rating of 4 from the CMS, which is higher than the average of 2.9 recorded for nursing homes in Ohio.

During the quarter, Orchard Villa stood out as the largest nursing home in Lucas County, with 136 beds available. Promedica Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Sylvania came in third place, with 120 beds available.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
